Sheryl Crow said there were problems with the piano during her performance, but I couldn't tell. Maybe your ears could, Sal! <br /><br />I'm afraid to say this, but I enjoyed Sam Smith and Kim Petra's performance of "Unholy". I don't know if it was so bad it was good, or if I'm some kind of closet devil worshipper and nobody told me.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-36056120716556426732023-02-09T18:44:57.091-08:002023-02-09T18:44:57.091-08:00Oh and if you want to get right to the Sal chat se...Oh and if you want to get right to the Sal chat section -- and of course, you would! -- it begins at the 41 minute mark.

(Avoids the curse that award bestowed, now banished for good by some solid winners.) <br />And Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder won Best Traditional Blues Album. <br /><br />Though sadly Elvis Costello lost best Rock Album to Ozzy Osbourne. <br /><br />I watched the show so you didn't have. I thought Brandi Carlile killed again and the Harry Styles attempt to mimic his music video was very poorly thought out and a big disappointment <br /><br />The tribute to rap/hip hop was not exception musically (despite Questlove overseeing it) but it was pretty awesome in the parade of stars and rather poignant to see who was still alive and looking their age (life's a bitch). No Beastie Boys sadly, but on the bright side Will Smith chose not to participate. Still, a kid could do worse than listen to the best album by each act. <br /><br />I remember your running commentaries Sal! Very funny because you meant every word and werent just trying to score laughs.

Brandi was solid. The Hip-Hop-at-50 thing was a lot of fun. "As It Was" is a great pop song and while I thought his album was hit-and-miss for me, I can see why the Grammy voters went for it.. And "Songbird" killed me during the memorium.<br /><br />I would rather "Wet Leg" have won best new artist, but it's probably better that they didn't. I would have done without the whole "let's have fans tell us why they liked " bit, though, and would rather have had 2-3 more performances.<br /><br />IMO, the Grammys did the right thing by removing the Opera and Classical from the broadcast years ago. It always slowed down the show. <br /><br />I'll be back next year!<br /><br />Shrinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908213967283171538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-37472396533709440292023-02-06T08:45:05.913-08:002023-02-06T08:45:05.913-08:00after (re)reading your review of "Jazz Fest,&...after (re)reading your review of "Jazz Fest," I wonder if most voters saw the movie...<br />still, it beat nominees starring Adele, Justin Bieber, and Billie EilishKen Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-72134073634800087972023-02-06T08:29:17.704-08:002023-02-06T08:29:17.704-08:00New year, same story: meh.

I only watched about 15 minutes of the program last night and heard Madonna introduce Sam Smith (and someone else). I watched the performance. I clearly did not understand how that was considered musically interesting. I turned off the TV and read a book.<br /><br />I miss performances where 5 guys step onto the stage, plug in and begin to rock the house.
